KLASİK FİLOLOJİNİN İSLAM DÜNYASINDAKİ MİRASI ÜZERİNE

Abstract

İslam filozoflarının Antik Yunan felsefesine getirmiş olduğu farklı bakış açıları Yunan filozoflarının daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamaktadır. Bunun dışında söz konusu felsefenin günümüz dünyasına daha kapsamlı bir biçimde taşınmasında Yunanca metinlerin Arapça’ya tercüme edilmesinin katkısı yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmada Antik Yunan ve Roma dönemindeki
düşüncelerin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi adına İslam dünyasındaki özgün çalışmaların ve tercümelerin ne kadar önemli olduğuna değinilmiştir.
